merlv of this city, and found in

Donald's handwriting.
In the name of God, amen! l.,

ing of sound mind and not acting
under duress, menace, fraud or I'M
due influence of any person what
ever, do make, publish and disclose
this my last will in manner follow
ing:
First give and bequeath unto
my executor in trust, for my daugh-
ter, Clara Gardner Mcdonald, the
amount due under my policy of life

England Life Insurance Company
of Boston.
Secondly give unto my exec
utor in trust for my daughter Clara
Gardner Mcdonald. all my real and
personal property OF whatsoever

and controlled by my executor, and
| the income thereof (and when in
his judgment necessary for her use),
any part of the principal, to be ex-
pended exclusively for her support,
maintenance and education until
she attain the age of 81 years, at
which time said trust and SAID

| daughter. In the event of the

CLARA BELLE MCDONALD.
Besides this there was a deed
dated May l, 1887, in which Mrs
Mcdonald conveyed to her lover
the title to her elegant Lake Tahoe
cottage, in Eldorado county, which
was presented to her by her hus-
band. In another document she
decided to him her horse, buggy,
robe, harness and whip. There
was also bill of sale to him of all the
furniture in her former residence at
No. S13 Suffer street. The police
will probably base another charge
against Swain on these docu-
ments.

Mrs. LanGtry,s We'll.

The well being sunk near the
North Carson Mine by Mrs. Lang
try, IS now down 215 feet. Two
flows of water have been struck
but when the size of the flow was
telegraphed to New York she wired
Messrs. Mclaughlin & Hawkins to
"Go deeper" Her orders are
short and to the point; she simply
says, $50 DEEPER" and the engine
starts up again. The drill is now
in bed of remarkably tough clay,
almost like rubber, and very yellow
The borers expect water when this
clay is pierced. The drill is now 9
feet in the clay, and sinking pro-
crosses slowly.

A Graveyard wind.
G. C. WHITE, p. NJ.

The graveyard at the west of Re-
no is proving a source OF danger to
the city. The prevailing wind is
from the west and the State Uni
versity is in a direct line with the
wind that is waited over the ceme-
terry. The soil is a loose gravel,
and the vapors from the dead come
up and are blown with the wind.
This item is not written to raise
any alarm, but the APPEAL suggests
that steps be taken by the Remedies
to select new site for their ceme-
terry east of the city.

TOU MUCH L.IBERALIrY.

The bill offering reward of $500
for the discovery of lodges which viii
yield 800 Or more by mill pr ocess IS a
little to liberal. 1t would be well
enough to stimulate prospecting, but .
law of this nature can not be so framed
as to prevent fraud, and the State is
liable to pay dearly for its develop
ment, should the bill pass.
Very few miners who have ledge
which will mill 800 would accept
such agratuity. They are we'll enough
fixed, and need no State charity.
IF their property will not pay for
working, although they might be able
to take outIah assorted lot that would
yield 500, they might want the bonus
offered by the bill, but in that case the
State would simply be paying them
for their disappointment, and would
receive nothing in the'way OF increase
of resource. 1t is true there could
easily arise cases in which tile bonus
would enable the miners to continue
Work, and thus, possibly, be the means
OF b valuable development, but the
advantages to be derived arc so uncer.
tain ahd the opportunities for fraudu.
lent claims, on the part of owners of
Worthless lodges, are so great that it
seems as though we had better cou-
tipue in the good old way and let min
ing be its own reward This country
is full OF men of grit and energy who
will take their chances with Natures
treasure vaults, without the induce
ment of u bonus, the acceptance of
which will, in most cases, be proof that
it was not fairly earned,

Henry Ward Beecher himself was greatly
impressed by Mr. Berry, and remarked Of
him year ago at Liverpool, England;
If am not mistaken that man will be
heard from soon. He has got the right stuff
in him.
The manner of Mr.. Berry in the pulpit is
that of exceeding naturalness. He has none
of the stiff formality often found in the
English preacher. He has direct, earnest
manner Of talking, breaches extemporane-
ously, almost colloquially, yet with an
elegance of diction and nervous
ness Of speech that concentrate the
attention of his hearers to the last word no
uttered Though he expressed himself be-
fore going to the church on the Sunday Of
his first sermon in Plymouth as feeling ex-
tremely nervous at occupying SO dis
tinguished a position as Plymouth pulpit,
this nervousness appeared to have departed
after the first prayer. From that time on bo
was free, easy and natural, and the sense Of
strangeness did not appear to trouble either
preacher or hearer.
No less an authority in Plymouth church
than s. v. White, the deacon who is also o
financier, says of Mr.. Berry that 1t is very
likely that in him will be found the man who
will satisfy the two wings Of Plymouth
church society and congregation-namely,
the conservative element, who desire that
tho prestige of the church shall be continued
by tho ministrations of an eloquent preacher,
and the younger element, who are looking
forward to q pastor who will be all that Mr.
Beecher was in progressiveness of thought
and vet leader, o builder and O worker in

too great hberality on the part Of those from
whom he voluntarily sewers himself. 1t is
hero reproduced for the benefit Of those who
have not yet read it:
To pursue union at the expense Of the truth is
treason 20 Jesus. To tamper with his doctrine is
to become traitors to him. We have before rs
the wretched spectacle of professedy orthodox
Christians publicly avowing union with those
who deny the faith, call the fall Of man fable,
and deny the personality Of the Holy Ghost.
Mr.. Spurgecn was born at Kalvedon, Essex,
in 1884, was educated at Colchester, and be-
came an under teacher at Newmarket. Then
he joined the Baptist congregation that had
been presided over by Robert Hall at Cam
bridge, and soon became village preacher.
When he was 10 years old he was persuaded
to go to London, and his words were
SO persuasive that it was found Ecccs
sary to build tabernacle for TIC people
who focked to hear them. Its capacity wos
otter while found to be inadequate, and tho
present structure, holding between 5000 and
5000 people, was built. Mr. Spurgeon's
sermons are distinguished by the simple car
nestness with which they ere delivered and
the homely illustrations and applications thai
pervade them

BETTER THAN wITcH-HAzEL,
Peculiar Effects of the Presence o1
Natural Gas Upon an Ohio Man
How He Locates the Fluid
In the Earth.

MIAMIsBURG, o., Oct. 27.-A strange
to the notice of the Enquirer reporter,
wherein q strong, hearty, robust man is
strongly affected by the presence of
natural gas beneath hiHl, and IL thus
able to accurately locate paying gas
wells. The gentleman is Mr.. John
Bugher, the wealthy and well-known
quarryman at Taylorsville, Ohio, and
when he says he can indicate the
presence of natural gas his word carries
great weight with those who know him.
Mr.. Bugher is very shy and loath to
make public his peculiar faculty, but
a week ago he gave a private exhibi-
ton to the directors of the Gas Com
pany here, who were amazed and aston
ished. The gentleman was an entire
stranger in this city, and knew nothing
of the location of the wells already
here.
They first walked down Main street,
when at the foot of Main street Mr..
Bugher stopped and seemed to be in
great pain, and acted just as he were
fastened to a powerful electric machine.
Great beads of sweat rolled down his
face and the muscles and cords of his
neck swelled and twisted convulsively.
Relief only was obtained by lifting one
foo: from the ground, thus breaking the
circuit. And thus Mr.. Bugher was af-
fected at a half dozen places in town,
and the vein of natural gas underlying
the town was plainly marked out, and
was found to coincide with certainties
already established by the drill.
| "What is it?'' everybody asks. Mr..
Bugher doesn't know himself, only
that on the 2Sth of August last, while
at the Findlay gas wells, he was taken
with what at the time he thought was q
stroke of paralysis, but recovered his
usual rugged health upon leaving
Findlay. Itseems as If the presence O.
natural gas affects him like strong
current Of electricity.
/ Mr.. Bugher recently located tbs
presence of natural gas at the immense
i gas well lately struck at Wapakoneta
4 Ohio. He is willing to come here an6
be blindfolded, and prove that he il
not shamming, by pointing out, blind
folded, all our gas territory, and part o
that we know by the positive develop
ment of the drill. He does not seel
notoriety, and asks nothing for hi.
services, but is much interested in th,
matter himself, to see If he actually
can unerringly locate gas veins ant
strata.
i He says the different veins ant
strata here all converge below town a
the Narrows, and he can even feel it
presence at that point while riding
over it on the cars. The following
named gentlemen accompanied Mr.
Bugher on his round Tuesday night
and can vouch for the statements here
!. in made as being exactly what the,
saw: Messrs. NJ. g. Bohn, f. Gwinner
e. Allen and Geo. D. Mays. They cai
not explain it, but say the man wa
most powerfully affected by the occul
! presence.
